How often do I need to change my filters?
The quality of the water in your home is crucial to ensure your health and well-being, and having fresh filters in your filtration system is a critical aspect of maintaining water quality. But how often should you be replacing your filters and why?
As a general rule, most filtration suppliers recommend replacing filters every 6-12 months. However, the frequency of replacement largely depends on the location and quality of your water supply. If you live in a rural setting, metal roads can cause large amounts of dust in your water, which can clog the filters faster and require more frequent replacements. In town settings, where the water is usually treated before it reaches your home, you can usually get away with changing your filters once every 12 months.
It is also essential to be mindful of the signs that your filters are due for a replacement. You may notice a drop in water pressure, or the water may taste different, which could be a telltale sign that it's time to change your filters.
While the frequency of replacement can seem excessive, especially if you are on a tight budget, it is essential to prioritize the maintenance of your filtration system. Replacing the filters regularly can prevent clogging, help maintain water pressure and quality, and keep your water supply safe and healthy for drinking, washing and showering.
In conclusion, the frequency of filter replacements largely depends on the quality of your water supply and location. As a general rule, it's recommended to replace filters every 6-12 months, which is why we have subscriptions available for purchasing filters so you don't have to remember when the filters are due for replacement. But it is still essential to be mindful of the signs that indicate it's time for a change. Maintaining the freshness of your filters is an essential aspect of keeping your water supply safe and healthy.
